Abstract

Based on an extensive review of the literature, this paper describes the major changes in the patient's behavior at the various stages of Alzheimer's disease and looks at the problems generally involved in caring from different perspectives. It also discusses factors that may explain the uniqueness of each caregiving situation and highlights the approaches to helping the caregiving families effectively.
